Smoke & Mirrors Sound System - Undercover LP

You’re eyes don’t deceive you – an entire album of amazing covers including Echo & The Bunnymen, Tom Petty, Spencer Davis Group, David Bowie, Tears For Fears, Edwin Starr and more. Guest vocalists include Jesse Wagner of The Aggrolites and Chris Dowd of Fishbone! - Chuck Wren, Jump Up! Records

"Undercover" is much more than a passion project. It's a lifelong obsession with music, from Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Reggae, Ska, Rocksteady, and 2Tone, to New Wave. A picture may tell a thousand words, but a song will transport you through time and space, or bring up memories long forgotten. For some, listening to this album will be a soundtrack of their own formative years. For others, it will be a discovery of decades of music to dig deeper into. Regardless, I encourage everyone to go back and listen to the original recordings with new ears and then listen to "Undercover" to hear the spirit of those recordings along with the subtle nuances and flourishes added by all the great musicians and their combined experience that make up Smoke + Mirrors Sound System. This is much more than a tribute or homage. This is a love letter in song, that great mixed tape given to those you love. - Middagh Goodwin, This is SKA/Beat Happy! Music
